Hi,
I have a concept 2 at Home, I use it a lot to stay in shape for my other sports, mountain biking and windsurfing. I love the concept 2, but I love your product more.

Can you use help in Europe? Maybe as a distributor or somebody that looks for events to sponsor? Would love to help.
Cesium beam atomic clocks are available on the surplus market, though not nearly as common or as cheap as Rubidium. The clock in the photo is model hp 5071A and I got it on eBay 20 years ago. The tube will last on the order of 7 to 20 years with continuous use, depending on which type of tube is installed.

This was one of the atomic clocks I used for the time dilation / relativity experiment linked at the bottom of the page.
The particular address is filtered to a sub-inbox, so I don't generally see emails there unless I'm looking for them.
Adding to this, I've heard on the grapevine that the parameters of the detonation sequence are generated from a hash of the arming code number. The arming code number isn't like a traditional code lock where there's a chip that's doing "strcmp(entered_code, CORRECT_CODE)", but instead the arming code number is a fundamental piece of how the bomb works. Without that you need the kind of state nuclear apparatus you'd need to build a bomb in the first place to reverse engineer (think a state run nuclear research lab), or at best you can remanufacture it into a much crappier bomb that probably duds to just being a dirty bomb.

What's the "nanotechnology" they are using, and how would that relate to the device's function?

I'll see if I can find blockchain and machine learning somewhere in there.
Exactly, we migrated to k8s not because we needed better scaling (ec2 auto scaling groups were working reasonably well for us) but because we kept inventing our own way to do rolling deploys or run scheduled jobs, and had a variety of ways to store secrets. On top of that developers were increasingly running their own containers with docker-compose to test services talking to each to each other.

We migrated to k8s to A) have a way to standardize how to run containerized builds and get the benefits for "it works on my laptop" matching how it works in production (at least functionally) and B) a common set of patterns for managing deployed software.

Resource scheduling only became of interest after we migrated when we realized the aggregation of our payloads allowed us to use things like spot instances without jeopardizing availability.
What about scatter from the satellite itself? The laser can't be perfectly absorbed on the receiving end. I haven't done the calculations, but I fully expect the spot size is much larger than the receiver.

That said, I imagine that for any serious bandwidth, you won't get enough SNR to decode anything from the ground.
I guess I'll be pedantic for a moment. A coup, by definition, is a seizure of power from government. If they are not successful at seizing power, then it was not a coup.
Glad to see my state (Maryland) on the list. But what does this mean for me if the Bill passes? That Apple can't sell iPhones in Maryland without providing access to schematics and parts needed to perform repairs? Surprised California is not on the list, but makes sense if all the big tech companies are heavily opposed.
Since I voted in Georgia on these machines, the process is the following:

- get ID validated & ability to vote

- get an initialized smart card

- insert in polling machine, fill out stuff

- submit, get printout from printer

- scan printout into a machine

- return smart card

At the polling places I was at (we had a runoff), the staff + signage was emphasizing to check results on printout.

The printing and the scanning felt terribly wasteful but as it turned out, it became a precious way to audit. The bonus is that the printout is normalized, not some person's handwriting that could be subject to misinterpretation.
Conversely, hand filled out ballots are a mess, often illegible, the hanging chad fiasco, etc. With electronic voting, the voter can (should?) see on a screen exactly what they did, and the machine can make multiple exact copies in electronic and paper formats of that exact result. There is far less ambiguity in the physical record once this has been done.
Do you use these for reading books/screens or also for distance vision? If only for reading, then what you are describing sounds like presbyopia, which is different from far-sightedness. Your accommodation changing as you age is a normal process and doesn't have anything to do with sliding myopia/hyperopia.
That could absolutely happen. But this scenario is no more the fault of the original author than everyone else that had a choice in using that software, but also refusing to maintain it themselves.
Huh. I didn't know the SLIC was written in C++, that's ... kind of surprising to me, for some reason. Dunno. Doesn't seem in-character with the rest of the OS stack somehow. The whole thing always felt very sheltered, even from other parts of IBM. Lots of esoteric languages and layers, and then there's C++, hah.

My desktop runs a POWER chip and it's amusing that there are still custom operating modes from the RS64 chips in modern POWER, like memory tagging to support the SLIC's translation layer. All disabled on openPOWER hardware, but still...
Wow. I was under the impression that Twitter had a fairly high bar for banning accounts. Do you have any examples of the tweets that got members of your community banned?
That's not what he's referring to, though. In chemistry, bonds between "atoms" are ordinary chemical bonds, held together through electromagnetic forces, and yielding typical chemical reactions like explosions and deflagrations. Fission and fusion are "nuclear" processes, operating between protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom only, and moderated by the strong nuclear force. The energy released by breaking these bonds is orders of magnitude greater, and what we normally refer to as a "nuclear" explosion. Calling it "nuclear" vs. "atomic" conveys useful information about what's actually going on when it detonates.
Its kinda hard not to see how you voted at least around here. It is printed off in fairly large print on the paper ballot which is then taken to a separate machine to actually tally the votes. (No clue as to the brand used though. At a ~65% trump vote my vote was worthless anyways though so why pay attention to the machines.)
FWIW, I would use your distinction as well. "Atomic" to me means fission only, where "thermonuclear" means fusion and "nuclear" could mean either. But other comments seem to show this is not universal.
It's not just computer engineering. I'm in natural language processing and was in academia and I see a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings in the comments in those topics. Probably the only thing reliable in HN comments is website design.

Likely wouldn't help even if it wasn't Five Eyes.

At some point, the communication has to enter the terrestrial network. That entry node is likely to be under the influence, if not outright control, of Five Eyes security infrastructure.

You would need to build out a lot of infrastructure to escape the sort of ubiquitous surveillance that is available to those organizations.
Just an observation. The mental health system doesn’t have much capacity to begin with. Even for middle-class folk with insurance it can be very hard to get treatment. There is a shortage of mental health professionals which is projected to get worse. Psychiatrists are mostly doing medication management because that’s where they’re most effective. Following the path of getting treatment—everything including diagnosis, therapy, medication, and accommodation requests—requires a shocking amount of initiative on the part of the patient.

I would love to see the country dig itself out of the hole. I think the mental health crisis itself is huge. Both in-patient and out-patient. We need more psychiatrists and psychiatrist PAs.

To be fair this is a good thing.

Ever since coming across weirdos on Twitter who would gush about the killing of civilians in Syria while praising Assad and Hezbollah as some kind of secular guardians I've been writing about growing extremism on the US and "western" right. Within a short time these weirdos started donning MAGA avatars while promoting the GOP's pick for the election.

Some of these people ended up in incidents like the Charlottesville Unite the Right Nazi rally where this person committed a ramming attack against protestors. The guy's social media was rife with right wing memes and worship of supposed strong men like Trump/Assad/Putin.

One of the persistent themes in the growth of this faction and it's takeover of the Republican "moderates" is the lack of visibility into it. Adherents say things like the MAGA bomber who targeted victims named by Trump are fake news, while outsiders just see a crazy person and not someone who followed right wing media choosing his victims from their screeds. This includes David Hogg, someone who became targeted by the right due to activism against firearm violence due to being in the Parkland school shooting. A shooting perpetrated by someone who was also in the MAGA cult.

The Parkland shooting was deemed fake news by a sitting Republican, one who attempted to overthrow the vote of their constituents by backing Trump's coup.

It is hard to emphasize how deeply this cult has penetrated society in the US. While I've been writing about it for years people have been just kinda ignoring it as it took over their friends and family. Avoiding the issue instead of embracing the subject to learn about it as to defend against it.

Things got to the point of a legislative and violent coup attempt by people who believe in a different reality than us because not enough people have been identifying and contesting it. Everyone wants to play Among Us while ignoring the terrorists who wanted to kill my state governor, or the fact their activities were partially funded by the DeVos family and others who are willing to put their money on the line to back their ideological war.
This comment is not consistent with other data.

It appears that Russia has a different distribution of coronavirus strains than the rest of Europe [0], but the strains in Russia are certainly found elsewhere. If hundreds of thousands of Russians were re-infected this would be observed elsewhere and documented.

The closest thing I can find to reporting on this matter is here [1]. The Siberian Times does not appear to be a reputable news source [2], and its claims do not match the magnitude of those above. It reports that Russia’s chief sanitary doctor Anna Popova said, "in Russia there was not a single confirmed case of coronavirus reinfection." Furthermore, the doctor on the other side of this disagreement has "heard about other cases [of re-infection] elsewhere in Russia from colleagues" (and claims to have been re-infected).

This is not "lots and lots (hundreds of thousands)"...

There is evidence of re-infections in the scientific literature, but they are exceedingly rare (tens of people worldwide). Long-term immunity will have to be measured, especially in light of new variants, but current evidence points in that direction.

This was the craziest day of trading I have ever seen. As GME was crashing down from $155, there was a moment when the entire market went down 5-10% and futures spiked. I ended up triggering limit sales on VXX that I had set weeks ago and forgotten about.

Truly, this is a speculative bubble that is going to pop very, very hard.

My team recently put in automation so that we use CircleCI for the staging deployment, have it wait for manual approval, then deploy to production. However, we can also give the Slack staging deployment message a +1 reaction, which will automatically approve the production deployment for CircleCI. This way, we get an easy dev UX but all the CI features of CircleCI.

We've seen a lot of angry people. Prior to COVID19, I was quite frankly unaware of just how good Americans had become at denying reality.

When COVID19 hit China in January, it was clear it was coming to the US. At the time, I thought the US government was preparing. Nope. Complete denial.

When it hit in March, I thought schools would prepare. Nope. Complete denial. It's 2 weeks. 4 weeks. It'll be gone come the summer.

And so on....

... Anger against reality has led to over 400,000 deaths so far.

To enable background locations update, a sales rep has to open a check-in screen, wait 10 seconds to see their location on the map and then press the big check-in button. Because people were often forgetting to check-out, my customers requested auto check-out feature which requires background location updates. Once a sales rep leaves the check-in area, background location updates are stopped. Managers and employees see exactly the same time reports. And if some sales rep is suspicious then it is always possible to disable that GPS icon in the quick menu settings after work hours. It is almost like using your batch card to open doors in a workplace.

A popular alternative solution to my app is to use GSP devices which are installed in all corporate cars. And there managers see their employees background location updates 24/7.
good to know, i always heard the other bit...
Can we really be sure that current user-targetet advertising is better than contextual advertising? It seems to me that nobody wants to step out of the safe model of targeted advertising, since it does work well enough, and so there haven't been big enough attempts at contextual advertising to really say one approach is better.
As an anecdotal test, I went to cnx-software.com and disabled my adblocker. The site has roughly 13 ads, 3 served by Google, the rest custom. Google tried to sell me toothpaste, while the custom ads are for things I'm actually tangentially interested in, like SoMs, embedded devices and assembly services. This kind of advertising obviously has a large overhead for the site admins right now, but I could definitely imagine an AdSense-like service that would distribute ads based on processing the site's contents.
I think the argument is that this isn't some unknown new untested discovery but instead something well known and constantly studied with disappointing results.

One of the things covid really showed was how important basic competence is. Most national UK chains couldn't do basic things like update opening times or notify users they were closed. Amazon was the only place to get a huge selection of essential materials for months.
I know there will still be prop noise galore but this is great. I lived in Coal Harbour across from their water runways for years. It was my every-morning wakeup call whether I needed it or not.

Aside: If you are in the Vancouver area, I recommend taking one of these flights, internal combustion or not. To/from Victoria, for example.

Inpatient mental hospitals used to be in every state. They housed not only the mentally ill but also the chronically homeless and other outcasts. As the advent of antipsychotics and antidepressants reduced their population, these hospitals were an obvious target for budget cuts throughout the 80s and 90s. They money for the community health centers that were supposed to replace them never materialized, and thousands of patients were left without access to their medication. Some estimate that over 50% of the homeless population is mentally ill.

Ironically prison systems now provide these services (and sometimes paying more for them!!), but in a much worse environment for the patients.

> Yeah, because that's the thing you want help with.

No it isn't. I, as a power user and only as a novice system administrator, want to "run a program at startup".

It's not clear to me that it's `systemd` that manages that. It's not clear to me that it's specifically `systemd.service` that I need to find help with.

> No shit `man service` and `man systemd` aren't going to give you help for systemd services that easily.

But... why???

> Also, apparently you assume the user is simultaneously stupid enough to not put "systemd" and "service" in the same search query

Yes, I do assume that because it describes me. I'm sorry you think I'm stupid though. Get off your high horse and start thinking of people with different experiences than yours.

> but is meant to know to visit `https://systemd.software/service` even though it too contains both those words.

Searching Google for `systemd service` puts a link to freedesktop.org with a very un-memorable URL. I didn't even understand that "freedesktop.org" is the authoritive site until a few weeks into learning systemd. I definitely won't remember to type in "freedesktop.org/software/" before trying to find systemd documentation. And I don't want to have to use Google as a relay every time I want to read the documentation for systemd.

So I made a site that does it for me.

Yes in several ways:

- No noise when idling and more fine grained control over power. You can't tell apart a plane that is idling from one that is completely off with electric. Some turbo props on the other hand provide so much thrust when idling that you need to be on the brakes or it will start moving to quickly during taxiing. So, that amounts to a lot less noise for electrical planes while the plane is on the airport (i.e. where noise matters the most).

- Not all propellers are made the same. They are generally matched to torque and rpm that can be provided by the engine. With an electric engine you'd have a wider range of both as the engine torque and rpm are more easily controlled. That means you can optimize for performance, noise, or both more easily.

- Generally propellers get noisy when their tips break the speed of sound. Bigger propellers mean this happens at lower RPM. Smaller propellers can spin faster without having their tips breaking the sound barrier. Electrical engines can be small and light; meaning that you can choose to have a lot of smaller, less noisy ones instead of the big noisy ones. Also, because they can deliver more torque, you can increase the number of blades on the propeller to deliver more thrust and power at lower rpm (at the cost of more drag).

- The frequency of the noise matters too. High pitched noise doesn't carry very far. Low pitched noise can be heard miles away. Like the noise of tonnes of kerosine being burned when a big jet takes off. Not a thing with electric. Big combustion engines can be similarly noisy. It's part of what makes them sound so exciting.

You are right they won't be whisper silent but they will be a lot more silent overall, and noisy far less often (only when they need to; basically during take off).

10 minutes like others suggested is way too short that said: this wouldn't catch attacks happening at night.

But to answer your question: it really depends what it is that you are protecting. For most sites I use by very far I don't see how 72 hours without access would be that problematic. Not logged in to StackOverflow for 3 days? Not a problem. Not logged in to HN for 3 days? Not a problem. Not logged in to Twitter for 3 days? I can live with that. Etc.

The question is: how much convenience are you willing to trade for security?

> but I can’t understand deciding it’s ipso facto irrelevant because you’re a programmer.

The negation of “everyone should know this” is not “no one should know this”. I can understand that someone would protest to a claim about how “everyone should X” by giving a blanket statement like “no I shouldn’t”, but I interpret that as hyperboly in this case.
Shutting people up is going to do the opposite. We need to debunk their claims piece by piece to convince the people that are somehow convinced by the evidence

And since I got into tinkering with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos, I've also been recording gigabytes of environmental and personal data in case I want to "mine" it some day.

Maybe I do have a problem...
